Here's a Plot for a Good Story.
E6.o,,, fba Diffeh,,,-<, n;es,ofcb

A few days ago well known merchant on
Sixth street, near Penn avenue, was busy
serving O customer, when an elegantly dressed
and pleasant-looking young man stroled in and
asked for private interview. He was shown
into the proprietor's private office, where he in
troduced himself as a former employe of the
Fort Wayne railroad. The merchant failed to
remember him at first, but after little further
talk he was convinced that he had known him
several years ago, when he Travelled a great
deal over the Fort Wayne road. Then the young
man had him where he wanted him, and he
calmly asked for loan of $40, offering to put up
his diamond stud as security. He was in a
tight place but would be able to redeem the
stud the next day The merchant took the
diamond to the window and examined it care
fully, It looked all right, and he concluded to
let the young man have the $40 and retain the
stud as collateral. The youth departed and the
merchant waited patiently for his return. But
the days passed and he came not. Neither did
the $40. Yesterday the merchant dropped into
the jew eer's store to have the diamond tested
and get an estimate on its value.
1t was paste. The jeweler said as they were
friends, he would give 81 80 for it, but he would
lose money on it even at that price The merchant
didn't say word. He put the bogus diamond
deep down in his vest pocket and sauntered
home. He was in melancholy frame of mind.
Along in the afternoon a friend, who lives
across the street, and who has been studying
photography for some time, came in to show
him his first effort with the instantaneous pro-
cess. 1t was an excellent picture, but it almost
gave the merchant a fit of apploplexy, for it
showed him and his pleasant friend, the bor-
rover, standing in front of the window exam
lining the supposed diamond.
The merchant secured the picture and by
showing it to his friends soon found one who
knew the young man. The matter will be placed
in the hands of the police, and the merchant
says the case will be pushed to the limit.

Interstate Commerce Amendments

AS the time for the meeting of Congress
approaches the talk about amendments to
the interstate commerce law increases.
There is every reason to think that the
number of amendments proposed will be
large. Senator Cullom who had almost as
much to do with securing the passage of
the law as Senator-elect Reagan, says that
he expects that the Interstate Commission
will suggest some changes, as it thinks it
has discovered wherein the law can be inn
proved in several important respects The
probabilities are that there will be a great
many more amendments proposed than
Senator Cullom has any idea of at present.
Senator Butler says that he opposed the
enactment of the law, but now that it is on
the statute books he thinks it ought to be
made effective in protecting people against
the carelessness indifference and the grasp
ing nature of railroad corporations. He pro-
poses to suggest some amendments which
viii tend to secure greater safety for the
travelling public. One of the proposed
amendments which he has consented to dis
cuss in the newspapers is that employees
shall not be on duty more than ten or
JWelVe uOuIS udy, Ills ODJeCb Is HOU 10
tighten the burdens of employees, but to
prevent keeping men on duty in responsible
positions until they become too tired to do
their work faithfully and conscientiously.
Doubtless when the door for amendments
! is once opened, the friends of the law will
| be surprised at the number of suggestions
| for its Improvement Efforts will also be
made, doubtless, to have the law so changed
| as to permit assistance to be extended to
special interests. Senator Cullom says that
| the largest carriage manufacturer in Chi
cago expressed his hostility to the law the
other day, because he was now deprived of
| free passes for his possible customers. He told
the Senator that before the law went into
effect he used to get blank passes from the
railroads and fill them out and send them
to any one who wrote to him expressing a
desire to see his stock of carriages with the
view of making purchases. OF course the
free passes helped him greatly in his bust
ness, but as the smaller manufacturers in
the same business did not have free passes
for their customers there was unjust dis
ordinations in his favor.
There is no probability that there will be
any changes in the law that will wink at
determinations of any sort. The demand
for the law originally was based almost
wholly on unjust and even outrageous
determinations.

The Wrong Man Hit.

A day or two ago the MORNING NEWS
called attention to the frequent complaints
of irregularities in the mail service of this
part of Georgia and of Florida. A quota
ton was made from communication which
was published in the Times Union, of Jack
sonville, in which it was charged that owing
to physical disabilities the railway postal
clerk on the Waycross and Chattahoochee
route was unable to discharge his duties
satisfactorily. The postal clerk referred to
has denied, in a communication to the
Times Union, that there is any truth in the
statements made with respect to him.
The MORNING NEWS does not desire to do
any one an injustice. The postal clerk on
entitled to a chance to make his defense.
The MORNING NEWS commented ON the
publication in the Times Union, supposing
that there was no doubt about the correct
ness of it, The Times Union will doubt
less hunt up its correspondent and find out
his reasons for his statements.
But the fact that the statements respect
ing the Waycross and Chattahoochee postal
clerk are denied doesn't relieve the postal
service from the complaints that there are
grave irregularities in the mails. 1t is not
stated who is responsible for the irregulari-
ties, and it is probable that only an investi-
CATION can determine that The investiga-
ton ought not to be delayed. The people
want their letters and newspapers promptly,
aud if they don't get them when they are
due they are going to make trouble.
There is negligence or incompetency some
where and it is the duty of somebody to
find out where it is. When it is located the
remedy should be applied without any favor.
There is no desire to see any official lose his
place, but the MORNING NEWS proposes
that the mail service of this section of the
country shall be efficient if such thing is
within the bounds of possibility.

Sweet mischief lurking in their flashes;

Tho love lay hid beneath their lashes.

Against the tete-a-tete's insdious grip;
My soul kept guard for snares and wiles,
Deep laid q bachelors feet to trip

With its bewidering oscillations;
With heroic sacrifice / stunned
Charming half-offered oscillations

With timid bridesmaids hesitating kisses;

With art well planned ! parted all,
Till, meeting fatal beauty, half concealed,
fell helpless victim Of love arrayed
In the charms of the tea-gown half revealed.

The Convict Lease Question.

1t would seem as il the lessees of the con-
vict camps would make special effort to
keep the camps in good condition, and TO
prevent abuses in them while the Legisla-
ture is in session. There have been more
exposures of abuses, however, since the
present session begun than during six
months, and perhaps year, Immediately
prior to that time.
The evidence appears to be quite conclu-
sive that in some of the camps the convicts
are overworked. and have not sufficient
amount Of wholesome food. They have not
as clean and comfortable beds as the law re
quires, and that they are brutally whipped
there is no doubt.
The questions which present themselves
to the Legislature are these: What shall be
done with respect to this convict problem
How can it be solved! There is no doubt
that nine-tenths of the people would like to
see the lease system abolished, provided it
were possible to adopt a better one that
would not increase their taxable burdens.
The State is not prepared, however, to inn
pose a tax for the maintenance of the peni-
Tertiary, and until it is there is not much
prospect that the lease system will be abol-
shed
There are two things that can be done,
however, and they should be done by the
present Legislature. A reformatory institu-
ton should be provided for youthful con-
victs and the Governors hands should be
strengthened sufficiently to enable him to
put a check upon abuses in the convict
camps. Convicts ought to be punished, and
that too, severely, but they should be pun
ished as the law directs 1t was never the
intention of the State that punishments, in
addition to those imposed by the courts,
should be inflicted upon them. The action
that the Governor was compelled to take
last week in order to enforce obedience to the
law is calculated to create the impression
that while the Governor is ready and
prompt to do his duty there must be untold
outrages suffered by the convicts of which
the public hears nothing.
This and other Legislatures have wasted
time enough on this convict question with
out doing anything to prevent abuses. This
Legislature has all the facts it needs for its
intelligent action. If it does not see its way
clear to abolish the present system, let it
at least make such provision for youthful
convicts as will give them chance to be-
come honest men, and SO strengthen the
hands of the Governor that he will be able
to correct such abuses as are continually re-
ported from the convict camps.
1t is said that the present lease law is
ample for the protection of the convicts. If
it is, why are not the abuses prevented ?
The Governor has shown his willingness to
do all he can to prevent them. There must
be a weak spot somewhere in the law. Let
the Legislature find and strengthen it.

WASHINGTON, Aug 27.-The East Aurora Fair
Association is still searching for attractions for
its combined fair, horse trot, baby show, and
grand wedding. Photographs of one Of the sets
of twins entered for the Cleveland prize were
received here to-day and attracted a great deal
of attention. The statement that the President
did not offer prize for the triplets is true, but
the officers of the association assert that the
President contributed $40 to the fair, which he
has not denied, and that they offer it as prize
for the triplets, four sets of which are already
entered. They come from Erie Steuben, Cat
taragus, and Oneida counties respectively.
Gen Benjamin F. Butler is the latest celebrity
to take an interest in the fair. He has contribu-
